But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything (Ephesians 5:24 NET).
Sometimes we do not want to accept the truth because we feel we will be disadvantaged if we do so.
While it is true that we might suffer certain things when we embrace the truth, but what of the consequences or the negative impact if we do not.
Many wives struggle with the scripture above especially when they think their husbands will abuse their submission. However, the scripture is also referring to the church and the Christ.
The wife is to submit as the church submits. Which one comes first? Of course, the submission of the church. The church shows the way: the wives are to learn to submit as the church does.
It is like reaping what you sow... In other words, if the husband, being part of the church, submits to Christ in everything, it follows that the wife will also learn to submit.
The society could influence people's behavior in a good way, to the extent that the church influences the society.
If we as the church is positivity changing our environment through our total submission to Christ, we will also see the impact in our homes.
